DO WE WANT SALOONS?

Next Monday it will be decided
by a vote of the people whether we
will have open saloons for the
next four years, or whether Kinks
vile will keep unsullied the fair
name of which she is to-day the
proud possessor. There is no
question that freedom from sa-
looms protects every interest per-
tanning to the welfare and happi-
ness of the people. We are
charitable enough to bell we that
every voter has the best interests
of Kirksville at heart and that
none would knowingly do any
thing that would bring it into dis
repute at home or abroad. The
question for the voters to ask
themselves next Monday, before
casting their ballots, is: Do the
saloons attract the class of people
to our midst that we like to have
come among US and make their
homes? Would saloons bring to
our town class Of citizens, who
delight in morality, foster elevat-
ed thought, and are actuated by
noble impulses? We know they
would not, but on the other hand,
would prevent this class of people
from coming among us? Would
any man want a residence in the
neighborhood of licensed house
of shame? No! Because the very
fact of its existence would create
ali influence for bad. Will men of
families locate here to educate
their children, as they are doing
now, if the saloon, the worst foe to
the young men, is licensed to
tempt Them to their ruin? We do
not dictate how any man shall
vote; but, if the law-abiding, or
der-loving citizens will all vote for
the local-option law, next Monday,
it will be carried almost unani-
lnously as we have few of any
other sort in Kirksville. And we
trust the vote will be such
that, Kirksville will continue
to induce only the best class of
people to make tiieir abiding place
with us.

From Southwest Missouri.
RICH HILL, Mo-, Aug. II, 'S7.

BUSINESS is very dull here in
southwest Missouri. Everything
is hot, dry and dusty. Corn is
very badly burned up all over the
country, but will have a fair aver
age crop around Rich Hill.
In some sections of Eastern
Kansas, which l went through a
couple of weeks ago, the corn is
an entire failure; some patches
were so badly scorched that I fail
ed to see a green blade on the
stalks; it looked like fodder at
Christmas. When l got back into
old Missouri again | found crops
in much better condition, espe-
cially around Holden, Warrens-
burg and Sedalia. In these local
tiles they depend less on corn, and
raise a great deal of wheat, oats,
flax, etc Of these grains they
have an immense crop, and all
along through this part of the
state, | noticed large elevators
and mills where they handled the
grain in immense quantities. l
was in Clinton one day last week
and found the town in great ex-
citement over their Artesiqn we'll
which was struck about four weeks
ago. The well is 800 feet deep,
and s inches in diameter. Out of
this immense hole the water pours
at the rate of 100000 gallons per
day ESTIMATED The water is as
clear as crystal, when it first comes
to the surface, and has very
strong smell of sulphur; but when
it is kept in bottle for a week or
two it changes to purple color.
The water deposits a purplish-
white substance over everything
in which it comes in contact and
all along the sides of the stream
which carries off the surplus
water; this substance, people told
me, was white sulphur.
Clinton is full of enthusiasm
over the well; and they intend, in
the near future to fix up magni-
ficent park around the we'll, and
make it famous watering place.
What has become of the Arte-
tesian well project of Kirksville? ?
| have seen nothing in the paper
about it, lately. Kirksville might
not be SO successful as Clinton, in
striking mineral water, or as Paola
and otner places, in getting gas;
but she could certainly strike
good water, anyway, and stands
just as good a chance of striking
gas. There are not many of these
wells down here, where they 90
deep enough, that they do not find
something that will benefit the
community. J. l.. TUMMoND.

FRIDAY AUGUST 10,
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
For the Public School Fund of the
Village Schools of Missouri.

In the majority of the counties
of the state the collectors have
made an error in the the collec-
ton of the school fund for village
schools. The error is not a GRIM
iual one but comes of their not be-
ing properly informed upon the
law by the one whom the county
employs to give its officers fair and
impartial advice regarding the dis
charge of their official duties.
However while the error is un-
doubtedly one of the head and
not of the heart, yet it has
been made just the same and has
been continued for many years
and as result thousands of dol
lars are how due the school fund
of our villiage schools from the
various county collectors, who
have charged a commission for
collecting the school taxes. In
the Revised Statues, Vol. 2, page
14l0, Section 1852, it will be
found that county collectors are
not allowed any commission for
collecting the village school tax,
but that the commission on the
state and county revenue shall be
payment in full for all services.
Notwithstanding this statute many
of the collectors have been charg-
ing their regular commission and
this money can now be collected by
the proper parties either from the
collectors or their bondsmep, uE
to last winter, when the law was
changed so as TO allow them q
commission.

licensing saloons. You would
make them respectable by legaliz-
ing them. They are bad enough,
God knows, when they exist with
out our authority or permission,
but they are infinitely worse for
us five vote to perpetuate them.
Martin Luther condemned the
Pope and Prelates because they
sold indulgences to sin; but in
this nineteenth century we have
the spectacle of protestants
selling indulgences 10 saloon
keepers to fill the land with
crime and pauperisml They say
to him, "For SO much revenue
we grant you the right to
make drunkards of our Sons, de-
stroy our homes and fill the Jail
with criminals" Every man who
votes for license virtually says
this.
Some say they will vote for sa-
looms because it makes business
livelier. What business? Our
Mayor and Prosecuting Attorney,
and Justice of the Peace and
Judges will doubtless have more
business, but it would require a
Philadelphia lawyer" to tell how
saloons will enrich our merchants.
Again we ask: How will you
vote? SIMPSON ELY.
